NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES
Nature of Operations
Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (“Enveric” or the “Company”) is a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of depression, anxiety, addiction, and other psychiatric disorders. The head office of the Company is located in Naples, Florida. The Company has the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: Jay Pharma Inc. (“Jay Pharma”), 1306432 B.C. Ltd., 1236567 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, MagicMed Industries, Inc. (“MagicMed”), Enveric Biosciences Canada Inc., Akos Biosciences, Inc. (“Akos”), and Enveric Therapeutics, Pty. Ltd. (“Enveric Therapeutics”).
Enveric’s lead program, the EVM301 Series, and its lead drug candidate, EB-003, are intended to offer a first-in-class, new approach to the treatment of difficult-to-address mental health disorders, mediated by the promotion of neuroplasticity and without also inducing hallucinations in the patient. Previously, Enveric was developing the EVM201 Series, and its lead drug candidate EB-002 (formerly EB-373), for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. The EVM201 series comprised next generation synthetic prodrugs of the active metabolite, psilocin. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Enveric out-licensed the EVM201 Series program to MycoMedica Life Sciences, who will seek to develop, manufacture, and commercialize EB-002, in exchange for certain development and milestone payments to Enveric. The Company’s primary focus is to develop our lead asset EB-003 in the EVM301 Series.

As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principal of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Management’s opinion is that all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2025.
The Company’s significant accounting policies and recent accounting standards are summarized in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the periods reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effects on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include determining the fair value of transactions involving common stock, the valuation of warrants, the valuation of stock-based compensation and accruals associated with third party providers supporting research and development efforts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. In the prior year, the Company included certain consulting expenses within general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. These expenses were reclassified to research and development expenses in the current year. Additionally, the Company has reclassified investment option liability and warrant liability to accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and change in fair value of investment option liability and warrant liability to other income on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the current year. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, changes in equity, or cash flows.
Foreign Currency Translation
From inception through March 31, 2025, the reporting currency of the Company was the United States dollar while the functional currency of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries was the Canadian dollar or the Australian dollar. For the reporting periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company engaged in a number of transactions denominated in Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar against the United States dollar.
The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Canadian subsidiaries and Australian subsidiary into the United States dollar at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during each monthly period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as foreign currency translation gain (loss), which is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The Company has not entered into any financial derivative instruments that expose it to material market risk, including any instruments designed to hedge the impact of foreign currency exposures. The Company may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the future.
Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution,
which at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $
Income Taxes
The Company files U.S. federal and state returns. The Company’s foreign subsidiary also files a local tax return in their local jurisdiction. From a U.S. federal, state, and Canadian perspective, the years that remain open to examination are consistent with each jurisdiction’s statute of limitations. The Company receives no tax benefit from operating losses due to a full valuation allowance.
Basic
net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding
during the period. The Company uses the two-class method to determine earnings per share only when the Company is in an income position.
Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the
treasury stock method). The computation of basic net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 excludes potentially
dilutive securities. The computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted. In
accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”), penny warrants were included in the calculation of
weighted average shares outstanding for the purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. In accordance with ASC 260,

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “anticipates,” “assumes,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “guides,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “seeks,” “projects,” “targets,” and “would” or the negative of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, future financial and operating results, the company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Business Overview
We are a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of depression, anxiety, addiction, and other psychiatric disorders. Leveraging our unique discovery and development platform, the Psybrary™, which houses proprietary information on the use and development of existing and novel molecules for specific mental health indications, Enveric seeks to develop a robust intellectual property portfolio of novel drug candidates.
Enveric’s lead program, the EVM301 Series, and its lead drug candidate, EB-003, are intended to offer a first-in-class, new approach to the treatment of difficult-to-address mental health disorders, mediated by the promotion of neuroplasticity and without also inducing hallucinations in the patient. Enveric unveiled its EVM401 Series on February 25, 2025, which is intended to broaden Enveric’s pipeline with additional non-hallucinogenic molecules and strengthen its ability to target addiction and neuropsychiatric disorders for patients with limited options. Previously, Enveric was developing the EVM201 Series, and its drug candidate EB-002 (formerly EB-373), for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. The EVM201 Series comprised next generation synthetic prodrugs of the active metabolite, psilocin. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Enveric out-licensed the EVM201 Series program to MycoMedica Life Sciences, who will seek to develop, manufacture, and commercialize EB-002, in exchange for certain development and milestone payments to Enveric (discussed below).
Neuroplastogens
Following our amalgamation with MagicMed in September 2021, we have continued to pursue the development of MagicMed’s proprietary library, the Psybrary™, which we believe will help us to identify and develop the right drug candidates needed to address mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, and addiction disorders. We synthesize novel phenylalkylamines and indolethylamines, using a mixture of chemistry and synthetic biology, resulting in the expansion of the Psybrary™, which currently includes 20 patent families with claims covering a million potential molecular structures, over one thousand of which we have so far synthesized in sufficient quantities to identify and hundreds of which we have screened for receptor binding and other relevant activities.
The Company developed certain intellectual property rights around the trademark PsyAI™ for potential use. On March 6, 2025, Enveric announced it is soliciting Requests-For Proposals (“RFPs”) for the license or sale of its PsyAI™ trademark portfolio as a means of maximizing value for an asset which is no longer strategic given the Company’s focus on drug development. This limited portfolio of US and Canadian trademark assets is held by its subsidiary, Enveric Biosciences Canada, Inc. Enveric expects the period for RFPs to remain open until August 31, 2025, with a decision to follow within three (3) months thereafter.
At this stage, we have entered into several non-binding term sheets with strategic partners to out-license certain molecules from the Psybrary™. Going forward, in order to build a pipeline of product candidates, we intend to both continue to internally develop new drug candidates with associated intellectual property and to acquire, through in-licensing, additional intellectual property from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research institutions. The in-licensed assets could include both research stage and clinical stage drug candidates.

Recent Developments
Reverse Stock Split
We effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split on January 27, 2025, which began trading on a split-adjusted basis on January 29, 2025, pursuant to which every 15 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock were reclassified as one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares that were to otherwise have resulted from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the next whole number. The reverse stock split had no impact on the par value of our common stock or the authorized number of shares of our common stock.
January 2025 Offering
On January 30, 2025, the Company commenced a best efforts public offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of (i) 1,229,330 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, (ii) 437,336 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 437,336 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), (iii) 1,666,666 Series A warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase 1,666,666 shares of common stock (the “Series A Warrant Shares”), and (iv) 1,666,666 Series B warrants (the “Series B Warrants,” and together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase 1,666,666 shares of common stock (the “Series B Warrant Shares”). Each Share or Pre-Funded Warrant was sold together with one Series A Warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one Series B Warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The offering price for each Share and accompanying Warrants was $3.00, and the offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Warrants was $2.9999. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, are exercisable immediately and will expire when exercised in full. Each Warrant has an exercise price of $3.00 per share and will be exercisable immediately upon issuance (“Initial Exercise Date”). The Series A Warrants expire on the five-year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date. The Series B Warrants expire on the 18-month anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date.
The Offering closed on February 3, 2025. The net proceeds of the Offering, after deducting the fees and expenses of the Placement Agent (as defined below) and other offering expenses payable by the Company, but excluding the net proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants, is approximately $4.2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital, EB-003 development, and general corporate purposes.

General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses decreased to $1,360,138 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $1,885,753 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $525,615, or 28%. This change was primarily driven by decreases in director fees of $147,000, accounting fees of $68,954, legal fees of $48,852, salaries and wages of $56,360, stock compensation expense of $52,703, insurance expenses of $25,994, audit fees of $23,845, software expense of $21,234, and public company fees of $43,458.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $746,371 as compared to $506,155 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 with an increase of $240,216, or approximately 47%. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in consulting fees of $305,032 and a prior year gain that was realized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to the Australian R&D tax incentive of $399,987, offset by decreases in CRO costs of $398,744, salaries and wages of $147,725 and rent expense of $28,577.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $81,024 as compared to $85,409 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, with a decrease of $4,385, or approximately 5%.
Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $108,259,471 as of March 31, 2025 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had a loss from operations of $2,187,533. Further, the Company had operating cash outflows of $2,391,582 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Since inception, being a research and development company, the Company has not generated revenue and the Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations. The Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. At March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $4,294,435 and working capital of $3,650,434. The Company’s current cash on hand is insufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for the 12 months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plan to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include raising additional working capital through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, and may include additional collaborations with third parties as well as disciplined cash spending. For example, the Company recently entered into an agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC to conduct an “at-the-market” offering, whereby the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock for an aggregate offering price of up to $1.8 million. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be required to undertake cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain operating activities.
As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the financial statements. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,598,347 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which consisted primarily of a net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $2,041,455, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $759,289, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $202,397.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,448,914 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which consisted of $4,373,870 in proceeds from the Offering, and $75,044 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6,658,269 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which consisted of $1,817,640 from the proceeds received from the stock subscription receivable, $2,676,980 for the exercise of the inducement warrants, and $2,307,707 for the common stock sold under a distribution agreement, net of offering costs, and offset by $144,058 offering costs previously accrued for the inducement warrants.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures. Our critical accounting estimates are those estimates that involve a significant level of uncertainty at the time the estimate was made, and changes in them have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Our most critical accounting estimate includes determining the accruals associated with third party providers supporting research and development efforts.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure is foreign currency exchange rate risk. From inception through March 31, 2025, the Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar while the functional currency of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries were the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. For the reporting periods ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company engaged in a number of transactions denominated in Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.
The Company has not entered into any financial derivative instruments that expose it to material market risk, including any instruments designed to hedge the impact of foreign currency exposures. The Company may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of March 31, 2025.
Management’s Remediation Plan
As previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, management had concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024, because management identified inadequate segregation of duties to ensure the processing, review, and authorization of all transactions, including non-routine transactions resulting in deficiencies, which, in aggregate, amounted to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management has taken, and is taking steps to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting: we have conducted evaluation of the material weakness to determine the appropriate remedy and have established procedures for documenting disclosures and disclosure controls.
While we have taken certain actions to address the material weaknesses identified, additional measures may be necessary as we work to improve the overall effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes being undertaken as part of the Company’s remediation plan, there have been no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during quarter ending March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
19 |
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal proceedings
The Company may periodically be involved in legal proceedings, legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, we do not have any pending litigation that, separately or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk factors
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations of financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.
